Secure a hacked or compromised account - Google Account Help

This describes what I was experiencing. 

 
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6294825?p=android_googacctsettings_suspicious&hl=en&visit_id=636832090436004680-3015228340&rd=2#

Secure a hacked or compromised account

If you notice unfamiliar activity on your Google Account, someone else might be using it without your permission. Use the info below to help spot suspicious activity, get back into your account, and make it more secure.

Step 1: Sign in to your account

Sign in to the Google Account you want to secure.

If you can't sign in

Go to the account recovery page, and answer the questions as best you can. These tips can help.

Use the account recovery page if:

• Someone changed your account info, like your password or recovery phone number.
• Someone deleted your account.
• You can't sign in for another reason.

Tip: To make sure you're trying to sign in to the right account, try recovering your username.

Step 2: Review activity & help secure your account

Review your account activity

1. Go to your Google Account.
2. On the left navigation panel, click Security.
3. On the Recent security events panel, click Review security events.
4. Check for any suspicious activity:
   • If you find activity that didn't come from you, tap No, it wasn't me. Then, follow the steps on the screen to help secure your account.
   • If you did the activity, tap Yes. If you still believe someone else is using your account, find out if your account has been hacked.

Review which devices use your account

1. Go to your Google Account.
2. On the left navigation panel, click Security.
3. On the Your devices panel, click Manage devices.
4. Check for any devices you don't recognize.
   • If you find a device that you don't recognize, tap Don't recognize a device? Then, follow the steps on the screen to help secure your account.
   • If you recognize all the devices, but still believe someone else is using your account, find out if your account has been hacked.

Step 3: Take more security steps

Turn on 2-Step Verification

2-Step Verification helps keep hackers out of your account. With 2-Step Verification, you sign in with:

• Something you know (your password)
• Something you have (your phone, a security key, or a printed code)

That way, if your password is stolen, your account is still secure.

Contact your bank or local authorities

Make sure someone else didn't give your bank or government instructions, like to open an account or transfer money. This is important if you:

• Have banking info saved in your account, like credit cards saved in Google Pay or Chrome.
• Have personal info like tax or passport info saved in your account. For example, you might have personal info  saved in Google Photos, Google Drive, or Gmail.
• Think someone is using your identity or impersonating you.

Remove harmful software

If you think your account has suspicious activity, you might need to remove harmful software. To improve your account's security, install and run trusted anti-virus software.

You can also reset your computer to its factory settings and reinstall the operating system.

Important: Make sure to back up the files you need. Learn how to upload files to Google Drive.

Help secure other Google products you use

• Gmail: Review these security tips, and remove any labels, filters, or forwarding rules you didn't set up.
• Chrome: Uninstall extensions you don't recognize, and update Chrome to the latest version.
• Google Drive: Review your activity and file versions for anything unusual.
• Google Photos: If you see album sharing you don't recognize, stop sharing the album.
• Location: Turn off Location Sharing that looks unusual.

Find out if your account has been hacked

If you notice any of these signs, someone else may be using your Google Account.

Important: If you think someone else is using your Google Account, change your password immediately for:

• Your Google Account (if you didn't already change it after you noticed suspicious activity)
• Apps and sites where you use the same password you used for your Google Account
• Apps and sites that contact you through your Google Account email address
• Apps and sites where you sign in with your Google Account email address
• Apps and sites for which you've saved passwords in your Google Account

Suspicious account activity

Unfamiliar changes to critical security settings

Correct the setting immediately if you see unfamiliar changes to these settings:

• Your recovery phone number.
• Your recovery email address.
• An alternate or contact email address.
• The name on your Google Account.
• Your security question. Note: Adding a security question is no longer available.
• 2-Step Verification (for example, if this setting was turned on or off without your knowledge).
• 2-Step Verification methods (like a phone or security key that you don't recognize).
• Apps with access to your account.
• Less secure app access (for example, if this setting was turned on without your knowledge).
• Location Sharing (for example, if your location is being shared with someone without your approval).

Unauthorized financial activity

Your financial activity might be suspicious if:

• On Google Pay you don't recognize purchases: Report unauthorized charges to request a refund.
• On Google Pay, you don't recognize one or more bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards, or gift cards: Remove a payment method you don't recognize.
• On Google Play, you don't recognize purchases: Report unauthorized charges.
• On Google Chrome, payment info you don't recognize is set up: Delete unfamiliar payment info.
• On Google Ads, you notice unauthorized charges or ads: Ask the Google Ads team to review your account for unusual activity.
• On Google AdSense, you notice that payments aren't going to the correct bank account: Check your AdSense payment method.

Unusual activity notifications

Note: We'll use your recovery phone number and email address to tell you about suspicious activity.

We'll inform you of unusual activity through:

• A notification about an unusual sign-in or a new device using your account.
• A notification that there was a change to your username, password, or other security settings, and you didn't make the change.
• A notification about some other activity you don't recognize.
• A red bar at the top of your screen that says, "We've detected suspicious activity in your account."
• Your "Device activity and security events" page.

Suspicious activity in Google products you use

Gmail

Gmail settings

Correct the setting immediately if you see unfamiliar changes to:

• Mail delegation (people with access to your Gmail)
• Automatic mail forwarding
• Your name in Gmail
• Automatic reply (vacation responder)
• Address on outgoing mail
• Blocked email addresses
• Remote access to your Gmail (IMAP/POP)
• Filters that manage your incoming mail
• Labels that organize your incoming mail

Gmail activity

Your Gmail activity might be suspicious if:

• You stopped getting emails.
• Your friends say they got spam or unusual emails from you.
• Your username has been changed.
• Your emails were deleted from your inbox and aren't found in Trash. You can report emails have gone missing and possibly recover them.

YouTube

Your YouTube activity might be suspicious if:

• Your YouTube channel has unfamiliar changes to your profile photo, descriptions, email settings, or sent messages.
• Your YouTube channel has videos you didn't upload or comments you didn't make.

Google Drive

Your Google Drive activity might be suspicious if:

• You see Google Drive activity that you don't recognize.
• Files were deleted from your Drive without your knowledge. You can try to recover files.

Google Photos

Your Google Photos activity might be suspicious if:

• Your photo albums are shared without your permission.
• Your photos are shared with a partner, and you didn't add a partner account.

Blogger

Your Blogger activity might be suspicious if:

• Posts you didn't publish appear on your blog.
• You get comments on posts you didn't publish.
• Your mail-to-Blogger address has changed, but you didn't change it.
• Your blog has disappeared or been blocked.

If you are in Offline network mode, documents will automatically sync to Polaris Drive when internet connection is detected. 
(Internet connection is mandatory for document synchronization)

Anonymous 2008

Anonymous

Written January 2008

When YouTube pulled down a leaked Tom Cruise video hyping the Church of Scientology, it unleashed the wrath of the hacker collective Anonymous. The group attacked Scientology websites and rallied protests of the church via social media. Over the next several years, Anonymous became a potent political force. During 2011's Arab Spring, the group launched Operation Tunisia to fight against government surveillance. The next year, Anons claimed to have attacked 650 websites in Israel after the country's latest actions in the Gaza Strip.

Power Grids and Fighter Jets are where we are now. 

Fast forward to April 2009.  

Current and former U.S. officials revealed to The Wall Street Journal that Chinese and Russian spies hacked our critical infrastructure, including power  grids. One official said that the intruders had not yet sought to destroy these systems, but had left behind software programs that would enable them to do so at the flick of a switch. "If we go to war with them," he warned, "they will try to turn them on." Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano said that "the vulnerability is something [we] have known about for years." Reports also implicated China for hacking into the plans for the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project. The Chinese Embassy responded in a statement that China "opposes and forbids all forms of cybercrimes" and called the reports "a product of the Cold War mentality…fabricated to fan up China threat sensations."

North Korea

July 2009

After sanctions were imposed on North Korea following nuclear tests in late May, the U.S. and South Korea faced days of sustained cyberattacks. In the U.S., computers at agencies including the Defense Department, the Treasury Department, the Secret Service, the State Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration were subjected to denial-of-service attacks, along with tens of thousands of computers in South Korea, according to that country's National Intelligence Service. Though North Korea was suspected of having orchestrated the attacks, the source remains unknown.

Operation Aurora

January 2010

Google was attacked by hackers in China. Dubbed Operation Aurora, after the type of application the hackers used, the massive case of cyberespionage was later attributed to the Chinese government, with U.S. companies including Adobe, Symantec, Northrop Grumman, Morgan Stanley and Yahoo falling victim. U.S. government officials later said that the hackers breached a secret database with what the Washington Post called "years' worth of information about U.S. surveillance targets," specifically Chinese spies being monitored in the United States.

Cyberwar entered a dangerous new era with Stuxnet, a computer worm said to have been created by the U.S. and Israel that attacked a uranium-enrichment plant in Iran. By compromising the industrial systems-operation software, Stuxnet was capable of spying on and controlling the computers, as well as destroying centrifuges. Stuxnet, which could be installed on infected thumb drives, spread out of control to at least five other countries, including the U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned of a possible "cyber Pearl Harbor."

Operation Shady RAT

August 2011

McAfee, the security-research firm, uncovered a massive five-year wave of hacker attacks against governments, nonprofits and corporations around the world. Called Shady RAT, for the remote-access tool used by the infiltrators, the breaches hit over 70 organizations including government agencies in the U.S., Taiwan, Canada, and India, as well as the International Olympic Committee and several defense contractors. McAfee attributed the attacks to a single state actor, though didn't name the country, which some sources believe to be China. "This is the biggest transfer of wealth in terms of intellectual property in history," a McAfee exec said at the time. "The scale at which this is occurring is really, really frightening."

U.S. Weapons Plans Hacked

May 2013

In a report prepared for the Pentagon, the Defense Science Board found that hackers from China had accessed plans for more than two dozen of the U.S.'s most advance weapons systems. The targets included the Patriot missile system, Aegis ballistic-missile-defense system, Black Hawk choppers and the $1.4 trillion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the costliest fighter jet ever made. "When I look at the theft of intellectual property to the tune of $1 trillion," said Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, "that's a serious economic issue for the United States." A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman responded by saying that "China pays high attention to the cybersecurity issue and is firmly opposed to all forms of hacker attacks."

Iran Hacks U.S. Energy Companies

May 2013

Hackers, with the support of the Iranian government, were exposed for targeting oil and gas companies in the U.S. "This is representative of stepped-up cyberactivity by the Iranian regime. The more they do this, the more our concerns grow," one U.S. official said. "What they have done so far has certainly been noticed, and they should be cautious."

U.S. Goes on the Cyberoffensive

June 2013

An unpublished presidential directive from Obama leaked, showing that the U.S. is going on the cyber offense. "Offensive Cyber Effects Operations," the report stated, "can offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance U.S. national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging." Among other things, the report authorized cyberwar attacks when "U.S. national interests and equities" were at stake, but also left room for "anticipatory action" just in case. Adding fuel to the fire, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden claimed that the U.S. has already hacked thousands of targets, including computers in China.

Cyberwar, like any war, never rests. Neither does the simulated one taking place at HackMiami, where co-founder Rod Soto, a 38-year-old computer-security specialist from the area, is running a cyberwar game. Though the consequences of their hacking are fake, the technology they're breaking is real. They actually are hacking Fedora, an operating system used by computers in China, infiltrating Zeus, a malicious "botnet" army of computers, and commandeering North Korean industrial controls for power-plant systems. It's just that everything's simulated and run on a closed network, so as not to inadvertently start World War III. The purpose of this event, besides the recruiting going on, is to teach the hackers how to find vulnerabilities in other nation's machines. "It gives you the blueprint and the knowledge if you ever want to attack them," Soto says.

So far, the truth about the extent of the U.S.'s offensive attacks against other countries has been shadowy at best. There's Stuxnet, which has yet to be officially attributed to the U.S. (or Israel), and NSA leaker Edward Snowden's recent claim the U.S. has launched widespread cyberattacks against China. Beyond that, the closest we've come was Hillary Clinton's admission last year of a State Department attack on an Al Qaeda propaganda site in Yemen.

The tensions around this topic are partly because the laws governing cyberwar are still being determined. As Rear Adm. Margaret Klein, chief of staff of Cyber Command, the Ft. Meade-based defense center for U.S. military networks, put it last year, "Attorneys and scholars face a variety of complex legal issues arising around the use of this new technology." But experts are pushing for more offensive measures regardless. The Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property concluded that "new options need to be considered." It seems our government is already heeding the call.

A June leak of a presidential directive from Obama, which had been issued in October, reveals that the U.S. is, at the very least, getting its cyberwarriors in line. In addition to calling for a list of international targets, the directive argued that "Offensive Cyber Effects Operations... can offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance U.S. national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging."

But while the government remains quiet about the existence or extent of their offensive measures, hackers and contractors I spoke with are, albeit cautiously, more forthcoming. HackMiami organizers James Ball and Alex Heid, security specialists for a major financial company they prefer not to name so as not to anger their bosses, say they have based this weekend's cyberwar simulation on real-life hacks they conducted on their own of terrorist networks and organized-crime groups. Ball infiltrated an Al Qaeda forum online and posted the archives on his site, TerroristMedia.com. Heid became notorious for hacking the stealthy Zeus botnet in Russia.

But the government hires private contractors to do such attacks on its behalf as well. The cyberwar underworld is rife with contractors who fashion themselves to be "the Blackwater of the Internet," as Heid puts it, "information mercenaries…private sector guys who are going on the offensive, but you don't hear about it." At least not usually.

Companies like Accuvant are capable of creating custom software that can enter outside systems and gather intelligence or even shut down a server, for which they get can paid up to $1 million. For example, Humperdink says, they would be able to unleash an attack to take a country like China completely offline. "We could stop their cyberwarfare program," he says. "Five years ago, I remember the North Koreans were doing missile testing, right? If [the U.S. government] came to a company like us and said, 'Here's $15 million,' we could turn a North Korean missile into a brick. If you came to us with $20 million and said, 'We wanna disable every computer there in Iran, and they'd have to replace them' – not a problem." For added flair, each program Accuvant sells gets its own cyberpunk handle – like Purple Mantis – and is delivered on a jet-black thumb drive inside a custom case with the name laser-etched on a plaque.

"So how many offensive plays are going on now?" I ask.

"A lot," Bonvillain says.

"More than people would realize?"

"Yes," he replies.

Then Bonvillain falls silent. He puffs his e-cigarette, considering a more diplomatic response. "The U.S. government," he says, "is great at hiding everything they do."

To see what the front line of cyberwar really looks like, I visit the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center in Arlington, Virginia, the Department of Homeland Security's mission control. It's one of our most important hubs in digital warfare, alongside the FBI and NSA. A wall of video screens show online the attacks on the IRS and NASA – both agencies were compromised by a Distributed Denial of Service Attack, a technique that floods a site with access requests, slowing or downing it completely.

The four-year-old NCCIC – employees pronounce it "enkick" – is the country's nerve center for online threats. Twenty-four hours a day, teams drawn from a pool of 500 DHS cyberpersonnel sit at the ready in this sprawling, windowless command cave. Flickering diagrams on the front wall track the dangers in real time: traffic anomalies at federal agencies, cyberalert levels for each state's website, a map of our country's telecommunications system ("There's no cyber without fiber!" a steely engineer tells me).

Fortunately, at the moment, the threat against the IRS and NASA proves to be relatively harmless. However, the number of cyberincidents is on the rise. Fiscal year 2012 saw 190,000; this year's number is already over 214,000.

Overhauling the feds' image to lure young tech talent has become a major priority. In a way, it's akin to the shift in Silicon Valley – away from the business suits of IBM to the Adidas sandals of today. The National Science Foundation now offers a CyberCorps Scholarship for Service program that places winning students in government agencies. The DHS is among the sponsors of the invite-only "Cyber Camps," which hold hacking contests for prospective employees. Aside from the "sense of duty" and high-level security clearance that NCCIC director Larry Zelvin tells me lures his team away from fat paydays elsewhere, the power of being inside the government system is the greatest perk. "You just don't get that in a corporation," he says.

Last year, the DHS assembled a cyberskills task force, which drew from hacker hubs including Facebook and DefCon, to recommend changes in their recruiting. To get the estimated 600 more hackers the DHS needs, the report concluded, the agency should "focus more attention and resources on…'branding' of cybersecurity positions," including "cool jobs."

Napolitano says that "the money and the culture" are the chief obstacles the Department of Homeland Security runs into when recruiting hackers to join. "We don't require our folks to wear a coat and tie," she says, "and I'm not interested in the precise hours they work as much as I'm interested in getting the work done" – but she stops short of saying hackers can work from home in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajamas.

But maybe if you're young and brilliant and looking for online action, there's something undeniable about working for the biggest, baddest government on the planet. Sitting here under the dormant red warning lights, there's a sense of being at the center of the matrix – and this is plenty tantalizing for some, including th3_e5c@p15t, winner of the cyberwar contest back at HackMiami. With his skills, he can write his own ticket, which he hopes to cash in with the feds. He says he wants to be as close to the front line as he can get: "I see it as a righteous causes
